If you have questions about the process to contribute code or want to discuss details of your contribution, you can contact WooCommerce core developers on the #core channel in the [WooCommerce community Slack](https://woo.com/community-slack/).
Please take a moment to review the [project readme](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/blob/trunk/README.md) and our [development notes](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/blob/trunk/DEVELOPMENT.md), which cover the basics needed to start working on this project.

- [How to set up WooCommerce development environment](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/wiki/How-to-set-up-WooCommerce-development-environment)
- Run our build process described in the document on [how to set up WooCommerce development environment](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/wiki/How-to-set-up-WooCommerce-development-environment), it will install our pre-commit hook, code sniffs, dependencies, and more.
- Before pushing commits to GitHub, check your code against our code standards. For PHP code in the WooCommerce Core project you can do this by running `pnpm --filter=woocommerce run lint:php:changes:branch`.
- Whenever possible, please fix pre-existing code standards errors in code that you change.
- Please consider adding appropriate tests related to your change if applicable such as unit, API and E2E tests. You can check the following guides for this purpose:
- Ensure you use LF line endings in your code editor. Use [EditorConfig](http://editorconfig.org/) if your editor supports it so that indentation, line endings and other settings are auto configured.
- When committing, reference your issue number (#1234) and include a note about the fix.
- Make sure to write good and detailed commit messages (see [this post](https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/) for more on this) and follow all the applicable sections of the pull request template.
- Please create a change file for your changes by running `pnpm --filter=<project> changelog add`. For example, a change file for the WooCommerce Core project would be added by running `pnpm --filter=woocommerce changelog add`.
- Please avoid modifying the changelog directly or updating the .pot files. These will be updated by the WooCommerce team.
If you are contributing code to our (Javascript-driven) Gutenberg blocks, please note that they are developed in their [own repository](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-gutenberg-products-block) and have their [own issue tracker](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-gutenberg-products-block/issues).
The best place to submit feature requests is over on our [dedicated feature request page](https://woo.com/feature-requests/woocommerce/). You can easily search and vote for existing requests, or create new requests if necessary.
Alternatively, if you wish to propose a straightforward technical enhancement that is unlikely to require much discussion, you can [open a new issue](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/new?assignees=&labels=type%3A+enhancement%2Cstatus%3A+awaiting+triage&template=2-enhancement.yml&title=%5BEnhancement%5D%3A+) right here on GitHub and, for any that may require more discussion, consider syncing with us during office hours or publishing a thread on [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/discussions).
